VIRTUES OF AZAAN AND THE MUEZZIN

It is reported by from Abdullah bin Umar(R.A.) that the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) has said that the pardon and forgiveness of sins of the one who calls to prayer(muezzin) is in proportion to the volume of his voice. All land and sea creatures will pray for his forgiveness.(AHMAD)

Hazrat Abu Huraira(R.A.) reported that the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) has said that shaytaan flees away perturbed when the call(azaan) to prayer is given. (BUKHARI , MUSLIM)

Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar(R.A.) reported that the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) has said that one who for the sake of Allah calls for prayers for 12 years, Paradise for him is assured and for each day of his calling(the azaan) he gets 60 merits and for each day of call for standing to prayer(iqaamah) he gets 30 merits.  (HAKIM)

Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar(R.A.) reported that a person came to the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) and represented that the caller to prayer has gone ahead in virtue and merit. The Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said: you should repeat whatever the caller for prayer(muezzin) says and at the end of the call(azaan), pray to Allah. Whatever is prayed after the call(azaan), is granted.  (ABU DAWUD)

Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri(R.A.) says that the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said that if the people knew the rewards for calling(azaan) for prayer, swords will be drawn for the right to call(azaan) for prayer.  (AHMAD)

Hazrat Anas bin Malik(R.A.) says that the Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said that whatever is prayed for, between the call(azaan) to prayer and standing for prayer(iqaamah) is never rejected.  (ABU DAWUD, TIRMIZI)
